Dispatch from Battalion Chief 211. No, R2MENT. All right, miss, we got cars coming down the wrong way to you now from the bridge. Take your time down there and just make sure they get out of their safe. Go ahead. Never. You can cancel all units except engine 21. 524, (name withheld). I'm trying to control traffic on you. They were starting to bunch up and... Couple of them almost each other, so it'll be a minute until I can get them cleared. Got me. Never. Copy. Add one. Were you going to say? I'm good. Okay. This is a cancellation page for the Structure Fire at 286, Tony Lane. Again, a cancellation page. for all units except for engine 2-1-1 for the structure fire at 286 Tony Lane. Battalion 111 from engine one-to-one. This is (name withheld). Go ahead. Did public service say they wanted signs on both sides of this power wire? Two on each side? I don't want to I. Can you just make sure that they're all getting on Ashton and the knock-on-passer squaws? Might have to yell down in touch base with them. They just said so at least, I think if you have one face in each way, that should be sufficient so people could see something's going on there. 84 were you calling this message? Yes, sir. Copy, our public service employee just, or our municipal employee just took off on us. Okay. Copy. If you've got one face in each way or something is there, they were just going to catch... Set some cones up. So if you have the signs, that's at least big enough to block anybody should they go through the road closed signs. 5-9-2 for traffic. Copy. All go talking. Thank you. Got me. Go ahead. (name withheld) in front of Colvers with Sonson license plate. Adam-Frank, Adam, 6868, AFA 6868. Zero. (name withheld) from dispatch. The caller... just calls back and said you turned into the wrong apartment complex. Yeah, we're out so you know. 780 is 23[2]. Yeah, 10-4[1]. So it looks like I'm getting the last car that was coming down backwards to turn and make the U-turn, and it should go smoothly from there with everybody coming down the wrong way. I copy. If you want to stop traffic, just send all of this northbound towards Walnut. I think it's more important than we get these guys off the brakes, so the other traffic can wait. Copy, I'll do that once this last car gets turned around here. Charlie, 2 to 3 Davy 2. Do you have a good amount yet that are going to be coming down the opposite way on Quincy? Probably another 150 cars or so. Copy. 85 to 3 David 1. Can you just guide them down, taking them a minute to get backed up? I'm trying to get all these cars turn back down to come to you straight so they don't have to back down. The final car on the ramp is turn around. I'm going to start shutting down traffic northbound Ashland. Besides the ramp, it looks like we probably got another 50 cars up here, maybe. And I'm starting to turn traffic north on Ashland from the on-ramp. This is that 514, 524. 524. 524.
